I feel like the term resonance needs some fleshing out. It shouldn't just make you feel good to use software, it should also inspire trust, creativity, and a sense of value added. It should also be capable of evolving with your familiarity and expertise. These are just thoughts of mine, not complete and not prescriptions for how resonance should be defined. But not defining it allows the concept to be exploited... Very bad

Agree. I've had trouble adopting this term but, the more I consider it, the more it seems to make sense.  If we think of resonance as something that strengthens an existing frequency by being aligned with it, I think we are getting somewhere.  This concept of resonance aligns with Engelbart (mentioned below as well)...

“Technology should not aim to replace humans, rather amplify human capabilities.”

— Doug Engelbart

I also think resonance works in terms of how software can sometimes feel "intuitive."  It aligns with our innate human interactions or tendencies so much that we don't need instructions.

Would it be worth adding an explicit statement that we believe technologists have a responsibility to design/attempt to create resonant experiences?

I agree with Zoe.  If you get into software design, you should know that what you are creating is for others, not to fulfill your own desire to code.  That comes with a certain responsibility.
